o PhDbase 2.0 *FAST* powerful phonetic/fuzzy search technology for
FoxPro 2.0 performs fast, accurate database searches based on
incomplete, mistyped, or misspelled queries. PhDbase's hybrid
approach incorporates the best features of phonetic indexes and
traditional fuzzy searches, thus eliminating all the inaccuracies
of Soundex and yet retaining the speed normally associated with
indexed searches. PhDbase installs directly into the FoxPro 2.0
system menu and may be invoked to "fuzzy search" the selected
database (or any other database) whenever the system menu is

o PhDbase 2.0 *FAST* powerful phonetic/fuzzy search technology for
FoxPro 2.0. PhDbase performs very fast, accurate database
searches based on incomplete, mistyped, or misspelled queries.
A typical search for a misspelled personal or company name will
yield the most likely candidates in a 100,000 record database in
only five seconds.
PhDbase uses a hybrid approach incorporating the best features of
phonetic indexes and traditional fuzzy searches. It eliminates
all the inaccuracies of Soundex, and yet retains the speed nor-
mally associated with indexed searches. And for those situations
where an indexed approach is undesirable, PhDbase also includes a
traditional fuzzy search which scans the entire database.
PhDbase installs directly into the FoxPro 2.0 system menu. You
may select PhDbase any time the system menu is available, and use
PhDbase to "fuzzy search" the selected database (or any other
database), verify the contents of the records which are found,
and then position the database to the correct record for further
processing by normal FoxPro menus and commands.
Registration is $99.95; registered users receive a bound, typeset
manual. Developer's versions for FoxPro, Clipper, dBase, and
other platforms are also available. [ASP]
